Docs Team 4th Quarter 2011 Update

Hello from Jennifer, your friendly Drupal Documentation Team leader! It’s time for a quarterly update on what’s happening in the Documentation team. As you probably heard, Ariane's role in the Documentation Team has changed, and she is no longer my co-leader (sob!), so I'm looking for a new deputy leader or co-leader (watch http://groups.drupal.org/documentation-team for details). Here's what Ariane and I oversaw in the Documentation Team at the end of 2011, with a look forward to 2012.

September - December Events

  • The Documentation Team is holding weekly ”Documentation Office Hours"—one-hour IRC meetings on Tuesday afternoon (North American time), open to anyone for questions and discussions about contributing to documentation. It seems like it's been very helpful to have a definite time when people can get together on IRC, and we plan to continue with this schedule for the foreseeable future.

Documentation Team Leadership Change

Hi everybody -

Hope you all had a great holiday, and are easing into 2012 nicely! I'll cut right to the chase with this announcement: effective pretty well immediately (as this has been in the works for a little while now), I'm stepping down as Documentation Co-lead.

Awwww, sad, I know! It's been quite the experience, and I feel like along with Jennifer and the other docs enthusiasts, we've gotten a lot done over the course of the last year and a bit of official leadership term. It's been great helping set the direction of the documentation plans, and working with everyone who's been interested in improving the documentation, as well as many of the core and contrib development teams.

Warning: Bug in Acquia Dev Desktop Control Panel

I've encountered an error (and so has another Drupal developer) when updating to the current version of Acquia's Dev Desktop Control Panel (1.2.40) for Mac OSX.

Upgrading from a previous version to the current version can destroy the Apache configuration settings needed to direct your web browser to the appropriate directory on your local computer. As a result, any existing Drupal installations that you created on your laptop will break. Instead of going to the intended website, you will be directed to the empty Drupal site that Dev Desktop creates upon installation.

Drupal SOPA blackout module

Hi folks,

I hacked up a module that will wait until January 18th and blackout your Drupal site for the day:

https://github.com/mcantelon/drupal-sopa-blackout

It was developed for, and tested on, a Drupal 6 site although it may work on Drupal 7 as well.

Cheers,
Mike
